Hybridity is Dead. Long Live Hybridity!
In present cities, escalating land values and the growing pressure on developers to optimize the utilization of built areas are changing the way architects engage with projects in urban environments. Architectural ideas are now more likely to be driven by density, diversity and intensity of uses in order to revitalise urban centers. Some of the forms and ideas put forward by the Modern Movement failed to deal with urban engagement by imposing a segregation and rationalization of architecture which resulted in the alleged death of cities. The notion of hybridity has been blamed for the decline of Modernism and has been held responsible for some of its extremes. The thesis proceeds to explore the potential, and re-emergence, of hybrid architecture to create invigorating synergies between programs.

India prepares to land rover on moon in global space race
India is looking to take a giant leap in its space program and solidify its place among the world's spacefaring nations with its second unmanned mission to the moon, this one aimed at landing a rover near the unexplored south pole.
The Indian Space Research Organization plans to launch a spacecraft using homegrown technology on Monday, and it is scheduled to touch down on the moon Sept. 6 or 7. The $141 million Chandrayaan-2 mission will analyze minerals, map the moon's surface and search for water.
It will "boldly go where no country has ever gone before," ISRO said in a statement.
With India poised to become the world's fifth-largest economy, the ardently nationalist government of Prime Minister Narendra Modi is keen to show off the country's prowess in security and technology.
India successfully test-fired an anti-satellite weapon in March, which Modi said demonstrated the country's capacity as a space power alongside the United States, Russia and China. India also plans to send humans into space by 2022, becoming only the fourth nation to do so.
The country's ambitions are playing out amid a resurgent space race.
The U.S. — which is marking the 50th anniversary this month of the Apollo 11 mission that made Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin the first humans on the moon — is working to send a manned spacecraft to the lunar south pole by 2024. In April, an unmanned Israeli craft crashed into the moon in a failed attempt at the first privately funded lunar landing.
Decades of space research have allowed India to develop satellite, communications and remote sensing technologies that are helping solve everyday problems at home, from forecasting fish migration to predicting storms and floods.
India's first lunar mission, Chandrayaan-1, whose name is Sanskrit for "moon craft," orbited the moon in 2008 and helped confirm the presence of water. In 2013-14, India put a satellite into orbit around Mars in the nation's first interplanetary mission.
Some have questioned the expense in a country of 1.3 billion people with widespread poverty and one of the world's highest child mortality rates. But author and economic commentator Gurcharan Das said that the cost of the second moonshot is small compared with India's overall budget and that the project could have a multiplier effect on the economy.
He called on India to get the country's private sector more involved in research and development, which he said could yield "huge benefits" beyond the realm of space travel.
The spacecraft will have a lunar orbiter, lander and a rover. The lander will carry a camera, a seismometer, a thermal instrument and a NASA-supplied laser retroreflector that will help calculate the distance between the Earth and the moon.
The lunar south pole is especially interesting because a much larger portion of it is in shadow than the north pole, presenting a greater possibility of water. Water is an essential ingredient for life, and finding it is part of science's broader goal of determining whether there is life elsewhere in our solar system.
This will be the first rover to look for water at the south pole.
"These days, it has become the place to go," said space expert N. Rathnasree.

What is National Insurance and why are the Tories pledging to cut it?
Boris Johnson lets slip manifesto pledge on the tax in apparent blunder
by James Ashford

Boris Johnson has pledged to increase the minimum threshold for National Insurance (NI) payments to £12,500 - but then rowed back on the tax cut promise.
What will a Conservative majority do in government?
Brexit uncertainty: the impact on the UK economy in four charts
The prime minister was at a general election campaign event in Middlesbrough when he "blurted out the key announcement" - which is likely to be a flagship element of the Conservative manifesto, to be released on Sunday, says The Guardian.
But "it quickly emerged that the Tories would only pledge to raise the threshold to £9,500 next year, then lift it gradually over many years", the newspaper continues.
What is national insurance?
NI is a tax paid by workers and employers that funds state-run public services. It it usually automatically deducted from workers' pay packets via the pay as you earn (PAYE) tax code, and goes straight to HM Revenues and Customs.
Under the current thresholds, workers pay NI if they are over 16 and earn at least £8,628 a year (£166 a week), or if they are self-employed and making a profit of £6,365 or more a year.
The money raised is spent on the NHS, unemployment benefits, sickness and disability allowances, and the state pension.
Each worker's NI payments determine which benefits they can receive, and what level of state pension they get when they retire.
Why would the Tories cut it?
In an interview with The Times following his NI slip, Johnson said he would raise the threshold to ensure "low tax for working people" and "help with the cost of living".
The PM had earlier claimed that the initial cut in payments to £9,500 would "put £500 in the pocket of everybody" - although a later Tory press release said the saving would actually be around £100 per person.
NEW: After PM incorrectly claimed National Insurance changes would save £500 for workers next year in our @itvnews interview yesterday, Chancellor refuses to say whether PM will apologise for getting it wrong but insists "this is a tax cut for hard working people". #r4today
— Paul Brand (@PaulBrandITV) November 21, 2019
And the Institute for Fiscal Studies (IFS) says the saving to workers would be lower still, at about £85 a year, and would cost the Exchequer around £2bn - money that Labour says should be spent on public services.
The IFS added that a threshold rise to £12,500 would save workers up to £465 a year - at a cost to the government of £11bn.
And the response?
Labour has warned that the reduced revenue would almost certainly mean cuts to public services. Shadow chancellor John McDonnell said: "Even after ten years of cruel cuts and despite creaking public services, the Tories still think the answer to the challenges of our time is a tax cut of £1.64 a week, with those on Universal Credit getting about 60p.
"Independent experts have said this will cost up to £11bn, so everyone who relies on public services and social security will be wondering whether they will be paying the price."
The Scottish National Party's Drew Hendry said raising the threshold would benefit the "better-off first, and even more than those people on low incomes".
That view was echoed by Xiaowei Xu, a research economist at the IFS, who said: "If the intention is to help the lowest-paid, raising the NICs threshold is an extremely blunt instrument. Less than 10% of the total gains from raising NICs thresholds accrue to the poorest fifth of working households.
"The government could target low-earning families much more effectively by raising in-work benefits, which would deliver far higher benefits to the lowest-paid for a fraction of the cost."
The Labour Party has pledged not to raise NI or income tax contributions for the bottom 95% of earners, while the Lib Dems say they would review NI payments to "ensure fair and comparable treatment".

Historical markers are everywhere and therefore have the potential to transmit history to a wide range of audiences. But is the history they are promoting always "valid" history? Through this research project, I hope to show trends in the validity of historical markers, how time has had an effect on the historical significance of markers, and how they correlate to the median income of the areas where they are erected.

BOOKS WE LIKED 2018: Ryan Carey, Philippe LeBlanc, Steve Morris, and Austin Lanari
It's the most wonderful time of the year. That's right -- it's BEST OF season when comic sites large and small churn out their lists, anointing subjective BESTS and, thereby, relegating thousands upon thousands of unlisted comics to the long box of Misfit Toys.
We here at Your Chicken Enemy are uncomfortable with these implications of creating BEST OF lists. Instead, we focus on celebrating ALL that is good in small press/self-published comics. Our site is built on an appreciation for diversity, admiration of artists, respect for the craft, and, of course, sandwiches.
So, in lieu of the traditional BEST OF list, Publisher and EiC of YCE, Daniel Elkin, has gathered his flock of (Chicken) Enemies and asked them for their contributions to Your Chicken Enemy's inaugural
Today's BOOKS WE LIKED 2018 features books liked by Ryan Carey, Philippe LeBlanc, Steve Morris, and Austin Lanari.
Make sure to check out Monday's Favorites from Rob Clough, Kim Jooha, Alex Hoffman, and Keith Silva.
Ryan Carey:
The Lie And How We Told It
by Tommi Parrish
Published by Fantagraphics Books
I'm not sure how Tommi Parrish consistently finds new and frankly unforeseen ways to traverse a landscape made up entirely of the raw nerves of human interpersonal relationships, let alone to do it so subtly, but this examination of just a couple of hours in the lives of two estranged friends after an accidental meeting showcases a cartoonist at the very height of their powers: painfully understated to the point where much is un-stated, the strain between them is nevertheless palpable in the extreme, and the amorphous physicality of each person's body that has long been a staple of Parrish's painted comics here serves to underscore the fluid nature of those characters' sexuality, perspectives, even identities. We are who we are, sure --- but who, exactly, is that?
The metafictional "illustrated short story" that runs concurrently with the main narrative teases out at first, later amplifies, most of the themes inherent in the act of "revelation through conversation" the pair of principal players is engaged in, but again is confident enough in itself to do so obliquely and trust readers' intelligence rather than throw numerous parallels into stark relief in too obvious a fashion. This is supremely rich, detailed, multi-layered storytelling that goes about achieving all its goals in a methodical, yet undeniably organic and expressive, fashion and literally subsumes you not so much underneath, but within, its inexorable flow. That whole "future of comics" thing we've all been hearing about for so long? It's here, it's now, it's this cartoonist --- it's this book.
Grip Vol. 1
by Lale Westvind
An imaginary "super-hero" used as a vehicle to comment on the real-life heroics of working women (particularly working women in the blue-collar trades) may seem a bit obvious on paper, but here's the thing: until Lale Westvind came along, no one actually had thought of it! That makes this a long-overdue comics narrative, to be sure, but Westvind makes up for the lost time ratcheted up by her forebears by going at this largely-wordless graphic novel with as much non-stop gusto as her always-in-motion central character, who lends a helping whirlwind hand to her sisters in the 9-to-5 world while building toward a climactic showdown with a major adversary out to stop not just her, but womankind as a whole by proxy. Yeah, shit gets heavy --- but never doubt for any less than a second that this is ultimately and obviously a celebratory work, it's four riso-printed colors straight-up pulling you into an undeniable maelstrom of activity with the same verve and enthusiasm as the book's arresting line art and intuitively-laid-out page structures.
The word I'm grasping for here is literate: this is one of those books so brimming over with confidence and so perfect in its execution that you could hand it to a person entirely unfamiliar with the comics medium and within a page or two, they'd be absolutely transfixed --- as will you be when (not if) you read it. An absolute fucking tsunami of intent the likes of which we're fortunate to get maybe once or twice in a decade.
Qoberious Vol. 1
by D.R.T.
Some comics reveal previously-hidden depths upon successive re-readings, but the debut graphic novel from the mysterious (to say nothing of pseudonymous) D.R.T. is something else altogether: a comic that is an entirely different top-to-bottom reading experience each time. Certain ideas are ever-present, of course --- physical bondage, alienation from the natural world, alienation from others, alienation from the self --- but how and even if they coalesce into something resembling the outlines of a thematic whole? That's a different process every time you open the cover.
D.R.T.'s world is not our own --- a washed-out "animation cel" color palette layered atop "cartoony" imagery laden with quasi-mystical geometric symbols, a vaguely jungle-like environment, life forms that resemble some type of human-sheep hybrid --- and yet it also clearly is, the undiluted feelings it elicits coming from places long-buried, perhaps even thought impenetrable, and in no way easy to classify, clarify, or even describe. Everything here is entirely new, entirely unforeseen, entirely unexpected, in many ways entirely unfathomable --- and that's as true your 20th time through this physically- slim-but-conceptually-dense book as it was the first. An experience like no other not just in the comics medium, but in any, this is the most unique, most compelling, most wholly original work of the year, perhaps of the last several.
Philippe LeBlanc:
Prism Stalker
by Sloane Leong, Darius Ou, Ariana MAher
Published by Image Comics
I believe good science fiction is able to ask difficult questions about human nature, about behavior and about how we experience life. When I began reading Sloane Leong's masterful series Prism Stalker, I was struck by the bold, bright and flashy colors, by the way Leong manages to make the world her characters inhabit feel truly alien. It's the strength of her story that keeps me going back to this title as one of the best comics of the year. The basic story is essentially that Vep, a refugee from a devastated planet, is recruited by a shadowy private organization for her skills to help settlement on a new planet. The backbones of the story are replete with those thorny questions. Vep sees her culture, language and possibly race slowly disappearing, settling on a new planet could help anchor her family and tribe, but is it enough? What does it take to be a settler and not do unto others what was done to her? What does it mean to be a refugee and how vulnerable are those who only aspire to a new life after having lost so much? Vep is lost amongst the stars, struggling to hold on to her identity, her history, herself. Leong forces us to wonder what it means to be human and what it means to remain true to yourself in a foreign and dangerous environment. In our modern world where refugees are less and less welcome, many of us would do well to remember that our lot in life is precarious and that wanting to find a safe place for oneself and one's family is only human.
Skin to Skin Ley Line #14
by Jia Sung
There's a quality to Jia Sung's work that I find delicate, as if her figures or her vistas were all dropped on paper ready to vanish at any moment, carried by the wind into nothingness. This is helped by the choice of paper and ink for this comic, a beautiful shade of teal ink risographed on cream paper. As a tactile experience, this is impeccable. It looks beautiful. In Skin to Skin, Jia Sung's issue of Ley Lines (still one of the most interesting publishing project at the moment), Jia Sung creates a retelling of the folktale of Madame White Snake, this time as a tale of sisters and transformation. She also takes inspiration from Belkis Ayòn, a Cuban painter. Skin to Skin is a hauntingly compelling comic with a lot to unpack. Her prose is sparse, but its effect is lingering. Without any prior knowledge of the original folk tale and with few words, Jia Sung distills the essence of the story in her comic. It's with beautiful poetry such as "A constrictor's love, holds me till I am sightless" that the meaning is this story is unlocked. Love is asphyxiating, so is betrayal. Family can help, but the pain of a love lost makes one feel as they're struggling under water. I've lost track of how often I've read this comic. Perhaps it's because I've been feeling depressed this year, but reading a people about people suffering from a heartache was comforting. Jia Sung's other comics this year were all excellent, but this one was one I kept coming back to. Do seek it out, it's an experience.
by Shee Phon Liu
I missed Shee Phon Liu's work. In early 2018. she took a six month's break from comics and social media and came back with some absolutely beautiful work later in the year. The strength of her work lies in the intersection she found between reinvention, experimentation, and emotions. I've written about some of her work back in 2017 over at the Comics Beat and how her progressive approach to comics-making made her work incredibly appealing and engaging. One of the comics that hit me the most this year was CN Tower, a one page comic about what we assume is her first visit to Toronto's iconic CN Tower as a child. In 8 panels, she manages to convey the impressive nature of the experience, the surreal trip to get to the tower and the feeling of wonderment she experienced with her mother while she was on top of the tower. I was reminded of my first visit to Toronto with my wife. She took me to see the CN Tower. On the way there, the tower was hovering over the city, overwhelming everything else by its size and history. I was in a moving vehicle and I tried taking a photo from so far away, it looked as tiny as a streetlight. Seeing the city from above and standing on the glass floor was an experience I'd never had before (or since). Shee captures this moment, and how heartwarming it is to experience it with a loved one masterfully. This was one of the most-accomplished short comics I saw this year.

Written by Jamila Rowser
Drawn by Robyn Smith
Nothing in 2018 felt so completely realized as Wash Day, which Jamila Rowser and Robyn Smith published following a successful Kickstarter. It feels like a small-scale statement of intent from two creatives who should, all being well, prove to make real waves in the comics industry in years to come. It's all very simple on the surface - the lead, Kimana, washes her hair meticulously before going about her day and running a few basic errands. She talks to her flatmate, and that's about it. But it's refreshing to get a comic which has this different presence to it, this different sense of voice and perspective. Wash Day is laid back and calm, which is an almost impossible thing to balance within a comics page - lean too far and you come across as bored, lean the other way and you get that weird Wes Anderson meticulousness which feels curated rather than natural. Rowser lands perfectly throughout, creating a relaxed tone which washes across the characters and their world in assured fashion. It wasn't a comic where much happened, and it didn't have crashing plot twists or shocking incident - it was just a really professional, self-aware and self-confident comic.
Pirate Fun
Written and lettered by Colin Bell
Drawn by Neil Slorance
Colored by David B Cooper
For more information, go HERE
Nothing makes me laugh like the ongoing adventures of Fun Mudlifter, the sword-wielding heroine who got out the dungeon and washed up onto Pirate Fun in 2018, from the continuing team of Colin Bell and Neil Slorance. I adore these comics, which lift just enough from The Legend of Zelda whilst retaining their own sensibility halfway between Monty Python and Adventure Time. Published through Kickstarter this year, the first issue of Pirate Fun sees Fun (and her ghost mentor/pal Games, a reliably silly straight man throughout) head to the high seas with shanty-loving pirates, complicated mermaids, and all manner of aquatic nonsense coming to a head through the issue. There's spills, thrills, and an extended parody of Britain's Got Talent. The jokes are nonstop, timed fantastically well, and play around with the pages to engaging effect. The comic has a unique, particular sense of humor which hits me perfectly as part of the target audience - but this is true all-ages stuff, with a heart that beats strong behind the silly beards and probably fake eyepatch.
Austin Lanari:

Published by Retrofit Comics
On the cover of The Prince, a woman sits on the rightmost side of a seat for two. There are two glasses of wine, but only one of them is full. The other sits empty. She says she's not having anything more to drink tonight. You ask why she bothered to take the glass out at all and she responds with a wry smile. The quirkiness of the exchange piques your interest and so you let it slide, but in the back of your mind, you have a weird inkling that the glass may not even really have been for her.
On the back cover of The Prince is one of the last things you remember: the street outside the bar where you met Her. You can't remember what any of the signs say, you can't even remember the name of the bar. The only thing you remember is the way the streetlights hit her each time the two of you passed from out of the shadows, as if each time a lock was illuminated for which you would never hold the key. The streets are lined with trash bags and the dumpsters are rolled out of the tight alleyways for garbage day.
She always has to do it on garbage day because it's such a mess.
You get halfway through your wine and hazily ask her if she'd like to go get more comfortable. Just before you pass out, she kisses you on the forehead, leans in close, and whispers in your ear:
"Oink, oink."
by Karl Stevens
At one point in The Winner, we learn that the inciting moment for Stevens' dedication to sobriety was an incident at a baby shower in which he berated a well-to-do person for the lack of fine art on their walls. "There's nothing more gauche than rich people without a taste for visual art." Now, I'm sober, and I completely agree with him: but it's important that we pay attention to the bandwidth on which this frivolous condescension operates. Really, I just want to give rich people shit when they have bad taste.
What could be more "fine art" than that?
Stevens, despite a style that might suggest pretentiousness on paper, has put together a work that is the least pretentious thing that I can imagine. The Winner is Sunday on the couch with my girlfriend doing a crossword. The Winner is her and I exchanging thickly-veiled inside jokes while I catch my breath during a weekend hike. And, somehow bridging those things, The Winner is a psychedelic fantasy that is almost—but not quite—about, I don't know, a woodland elf's struggles with drugs, alcohol, and fidelity, that ends with a fair lass bitch-slapping him back to earth.
The Winner is the least esoteric thing I can imagine, a far cry from the definitional, dick-measuring squabbles of Spiegelman toking on his vape pen. If we were ever sold comics as art before, it was a lie, and Stevens is not the antithesis but rather the antidote: the real, actual salve we thought we were looking for.
Amen and praise be to Pope Cat.

Red ties are on fire. For a look that's bold and classic, you can do no wrong with a red necktie. If fire engine red is a little too hot for you, try a softer shade like crimson or claret. Solid Color Neckties offers red ties in shades suitable for any situation. Narrow by color or shop all red ties below.
Red comes in two main shades, those mixed with yellow and those with blue. A red tie with yellow mixed—a tomato red tie—is ideal for the warmer months. Bright red reminds people of energy and passion, so summertime is the right time for true reds. Berry reds, the shades mixed with blue, accent fall and winter. The cooler tone syncs with the calmness and darker colors of the colder months.
A red tie pairs nicely with just about any color shirt, but watch out for greens. You don't want to look like a Christmas tree. Tomato reds work well with caramel or coffee brown, in addition to other yellow tones. A berry red necktie looks great on gray and navy. And who doesn't love a bright red tie on a black collared shirt?
Heat up your style with a fun red tie from Solid Color Neckties. Whether you're looking for something bold or something subdued, you'll find the perfect shade. Plus, our red ties come in different styles from bow ties to clip-ons. There's no reason not to try a red tie.

The Kuang Si Falls, sometimes spelled Kuang Xi or known as Tat Kuang Si Waterfalls, is a three tier waterfall about 29 kilometres (18 mi) south of Luang Prabang. These waterfalls are a favourite side trip for tourists in Luang Prabang. The falls begin in shallow pools atop a steep hillside. These lead to the main fall with a 60 metres (200 ft)cascade. The falls are accessed via a trail to a left of the falls. The water collects in numerous turquoise blue pools as it flows downstream. The many cascades that result are typical of travertine waterfalls.

Re: Turkey: Block EU Access to Energy by Manipulating Palestinians up to Death ?


Thought I'd pick the collective minds of more experienced if ya don't mind.
I'm currently 11 days into Cissus-Drol and "appear" to be making some gains by taking 4 caps per day. I was planning to run it for 4 weeks.
I've managed to get some old Jungle Warfare (the original version) and was thinking of taking that when I'm finished with Cissus-Drol. Due to a shipping error (of sorts) I was also sent a box of Mass FX MS.
- Should I add MassFX to the Cissus-Drol cycle I'm currently on and if so should I continue to take 4 caps of CD a day?
- Once I finish with the CD cycle, I'm gathering that I should have a break for about 2 weeks before starting with the JW. Am I being too cautious or does that sound about right?
- I've also got some 6-OXO that a mate had given me previously (all ok and in date), so should I be adding this in at some stage, somewhere along the line?
If it helps at all, I'm 33 and weigh 77kg.
Should I add MassFX to the Cissus-Drol cycle I'm currently on and if so should I continue to take 4 caps of CD a day?
Once I finish with the CD cycle, I'm gathering that I should have a break for about 2 weeks before starting with the JW. Am I being too cautious or does that sound about right?
You can start it straight after if you want. What type of bottle is the JW?
I've also got some 6-OXO that a mate had given me previously (all ok and in date), so should I be adding this in at some stage, somewhere along the line?
Cool, so stick with 4 caps of CD and just the recommended dose for Mass FX MS? Should I extend the cycle past 4 weeks to use up the MassFX or just stick with my original plan of 4 weeks and then go on to the JW?
Its the clear bottle with the blue tablets. I was lead to believe that's the old formula (ie the good one!).
Out of curiosity, what would you recommend for dosing and for how long should I cycle the JW for?
As always, your advice is appreciated!
I'm running 4 weeks c-drol and the minute then JW + c-drol, c-drol at 4 caps per day and will run standard JW.

Introducing the PDMM class of 2015
Date Released: Wed, 27 May 2015 10:40 +0200
The PDMM course addresses key issues confronting media managers including questions relating to, among others, the impact of new technologies on traditional media, the critical role of leadership, managing people in changing times, understanding media markets and making creative content decisions. The course also introduces students to the fundamentals of media economics, human resource management and distribution strategies. This year we have 19 students from diverse backgrounds.
1.Patience Shawarira grew up in Zimbabwe's second city of Bulawayo. She obtained her Bsc in Journalism and Media Studies from the National University of Science and Technology, Zimbabwe. She interned at the Voluntary Media Council of Zimbabwe for two years. She then moved to the Zimbabwe National Editors Forum as a coordinator. Her interests lie in media development and freedom of expression. Patience is also interested in gender, human rights and social justice.
2. Zimasa Majola grew up in UMthatha but lives in Pretoria. Prior to coming to the PDMM course, she studied Social Entrepreneurship at GIBS and worked in communications at the Department of Social Development. She enrolled at the Sol Plaatje Institute to broaden her knowledge of the media industry and to learn how to run a sustainable media organization. She loves three things: people, learning and creating. Zimasa is passionate about social change, innovation and the potential of the African media market.
3. Mantoe Phakathi is a Swazi journalist with experience spanning over 14 years. Her main interests include covering politics, human rights, health and development news such as agriculture and climate change. She holds a Bachelor's Degree in Communications Science from the University of South Africa. She believes that enrolling for the PDMM will help take her career to the next level. She is a senior reporter at the privately-owned socio-political Swazi magazine, The Nation. She has also freelanced for several media outlets such as IPS-Africa, an online news agency specializing in development news; Business Report, Mail & Guardian and Equal Times. Mantoe has also worked as a part-time communications consultant for the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations and the Regional Aids Training Network.
4.Chembezi Mhone started her career in the media as a DJ and newsreader at a local radio station in Malawi. Although she wanted to study law, she found herself captivated by the media industry and studied media studies and industrial psychology. She has since been employed by the Malawi Broadcasting Corporation and manages Radio 2 FM. She is also a senior reporter for TV and radio. She feels she has much more to offer and the PDMM will aid her in that regard. She is a proud mother of one, loves travelling and her favourite quote is by Ghana's first president Kwame Nkrumah who stated that "we face neither west nor east, we face toward". That's Chembezi's view on life – that is, that she faces forward always.
5.Bianca Garcia Moodley is a 22-year-old originally from Pietermaritzburg, KwaZulu Natal. She graduated from the University of Cape Town with a Bachelor of Arts majoring in Media Studies and Film and Television Studies. She is now furthering her studies through the Sol Plaatje Institute. The PDMM course is a combination of theory and practice. It has forced Bianca to step out of her comfort zone as she is naturally introverted. The course has enabled her to give presentations, work in groups and interact with a diverse group of people. Although the PDMM proves to be fairly challenging, she has no doubt that it is equipping her for the professional work environment which she intends to enter at the start of 2016.
6.Anelisa Salavu is a 22-year-old with a Bachelor of Arts degree from Rhodes University majoring in Journalism (television) and Politics and International Relations.

She has also been participated in broadcast internships at BayFm Radio, Bay TV, Cue TV and ENCA. Enrolling on the PDMM course has been one of the best decisions she has made thus far. She has found the course content invaluable and it has taught her so much about the media industry. Anelisa hopes to pursue a Master's degree in Journalism at the University of Witwatersrand and would like to start working as a financial reporter soon.
7.Bronwyn Preston is from Durban, South Africa. She is currently completing a Bachelor of Social Science majoring in Organizational Psychology and Industrial and Economic Sociology.

She is an OSISA scholarship recipient and says the opportunity came at the right time for her as she was in need of academic empowerment. She hopes to add to the number of women that are dominating the media industry as she believes that the media is currently a male-dominated industry. So far she finds the PDMM course a solution to many practical problems she had come across in the industry but did not know how to deal with. She feels that by the end of the course, she will be better equipped to take on any leadership role but her lifelong dream is to be in business and compete with prominent media magnates.

The piece is one of the choral pieces from the Symphony "The Saviour", which was mainly composed in 2014. The choral pieces of the symphony can be sung as independent pieces. The texts were extracted from the 1961 Liber Usualis, following the liturgical instructions, and from the Vulgata. The world premiere of "Et Creavit Deus Hominem" took place on October 16, 2018 at the University of Toronto.
The text of "Et Creavit Deus Hominem" is taken from the Vulgata.
et creavit Deus hominem ad imaginem suam ad imaginem Dei creavit illum masculum et feminam creavit eos.
And God created man to His own image: to the image of God He created him, male and female He created them.


Meat continues to be the largest perimeter department and is crucially important in driving store choice, traffic and basket size. But 2017 was relatively flat for meat dollars and volume. To drive growth, we need to find the key to unlocking a greater consumption frequency, taking consumption occasions from foodservice or protein alternatives. The Pork Board calculated that if just half of the US population would eat pork just one more time per year, the industry would generate an additional $400 million at retail. Imagine what sales growth could look like if food retailers were to sell beef, chicken, pork, turkey and lamb just one more time per year.
Obviously, that's not an easy thing to do. Shoppers have their routines: 83 percent of shoppers buy a mere handful of different cuts and kinds – items that fall within their cooking comfort zone. Yet, they want variety in their meal lineup. Many find that desired variety in eating out or cooking protein alternatives such as eggs, beans and seafood. But a decent number, 42 percent, said they would branch out beyond their comfort zone, if advised. This is because the underlying reason for sticking to a limited variety of meat/poultry simply lies in people's meat knowledge. Or rather, lack of knowledge for many.
We looked at three inputs: self-rated knowledge of how to prepare meat and poultry, marinate, season, its nutritional value, etc. and 53 percent of shoppers say they merely manage or need help. We also looked at the variety purchased and thirdly how often people cook meals that contain an actual portion of meat and poultry, whether as a center of plate item or meal ingredient. Then a very logical, yet powerful formula emerged: shoppers who are confident in their ability to prepare meat and poultry, tend to buy a greater variety of cuts and species, tend to cook with meat more often, many 5-7 times per week and all that results in greater per person spending, more weekly trips and greater store loyalty. In other words, there is a ton to be gained from equipping shoppers with more meat knowledge, skills and affinity to expand their comfort level across more cuts and species.
To sell that one extra pork chop, we have to inspire shoppers to go beyond their every day. The challenge in all that is that 71 percent of the purchase comes from the meat case – self-selected without ever interacting with a meat expert who may prompt them to branch out. On the retailer end, we tend to feed right into that comfort zone as we're eternally chasing last year's sales numbers and are focused on driving volume while minimizing shrink and markdowns. If we want shoppers to change their routines, we have to change ours. After all, you always get what you always got, if you always do what you always did.
One of our strongest weapons is people power. It's more important than ever to bring friendly and knowledgeable meat associates in front of the case to be available for tips, recipes and customizing amounts. And at the same time, start leveraging all the digital tools available from blogs and vlogs, snaps and tweets to build a meat personality and trusted relationship outside the store as well.

Automotive cybersecurity: Growing technology needs a broader safety net
Think secure, vigilant, resilient
New technologies will connect, automate, and ultimately drive our vehicles. They will become part of an interconnected vehicle ecosystem, vulnerable to the same cyber security risks as other information ecosystems. Security, vigilance, and resilience are the hallmarks of cyber risk management and information security in more familiar information ecosystems. With the safety of human passengers at stake, these three principles should also guide cybersecurity in the evolving mobility ecosystem.
Secure, vigilant, and resilient vehicle ecosystems
Technology is claiming a greater and greater place in our cars, all in the name of improving customer experience, safety, and security. Consumers expect these components, systems, and services to keep us safe. It is critical to making sure any vehicle ecosystem has three mutually reinforcing properties:
Secure: Prevention is worth more than a cure, and effective risk management begins by preventing system breaches or compromises.
Vigilant: Hardware and software can degrade, the nature and intensity of attacks can change, and no level of security is perfect. Security must be complemented by monitoring to determine whether a system is still secure or has been compromised.
Resilient: When a breach occurs, limiting the damage and reestablishing normal operations are much more easily and effectively done when there are processes in place to quickly neutralize threats, prevent further spread, and recover. Remember the definition of "fail-safe"—not safety from failure, but safety during failure.
Read the full supplement "Examining the evolving mobility ecosystem" here.
Automotive cybersecurity: Growing tech, broader safety net
Securing vehicles of the future
A typical automobile today contains about 70 computational systems running up to 100 million lines of programming code—twice as many lines of code as the Windows Vista operating system. Security must inform design from the outset.
We have seen a broad set of responses to the risks. For example, Senator Markey introduced the Security and Privacy in Your Car Act of 2015, which would begin the process of developing motor vehicle cybersecurity regulations. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) meets regularly with the technical leads at OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers regarding their cybersecurity initiatives, processes, risk assessment, and product/process plans to design security into their products. NHTSA also works closely with other federal organizations with interests in automotive cyber security like DARPA, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS), and the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST).
As vehicles continue to expand in complexity, the attack surface of an automobile expands. A single vulnerable device can leave an entire automotive ecosystem open to attack and the potential exposure ranges from inconvenience to massive safety breakdowns. In the face of such challenges, automakers can remain secure, vigilant, and resilient by taking several steps to safeguard their ecosystems and the data they create:
Expand the regulatory, risk, and cybersecurity dialogue to enhance overall vehicle safety, security, and privacy
Cultivate the industry's cybersecurity talent, methodologies, expertise, and awareness
Build secure product development and software coding regimens —with heavy involvement from security professionals
Create robust technology and monitoring capabilities and share information across the industry on evolving threats and responses
Build for resilience: Establish capabilities within the vehicle, its ecosystem, and supply chain for avoiding attacks, repairing vulnerabilities, and responding to attacks
In the IoT, the many data-driven components of a car will form a rolling ecosystem. The car itself will be one component of a larger ecosystem. And the whole thing will be moving at highway speed, with people's lives and their personal information as the cargo. Cyber threats and cyber security have paced each other in an arms race for many years. But now, those dual forces have a new field of battle.
The prospects for creating and operating within a seamless, secure network—with or without external partners—may seem daunting. Vulnerabilities exist on all sides. Security cannot be an afterthought—it must be integral throughout the design process. Connected product and services that blend a deep understanding of the myriad of use cases with knowledge of multilayered cyber risk management techniques can create customer experiences that are secure, vigilant, and resilient.

"The cold had a certain warmth to it. Worlds, life, among the layers of ice. Complex sounds, alive, found in the darkest rocks, wet with winter's water. These hollows, rough with age, nature's hideouts, were the source of inspiration and sounds for the first full-length collaborative effort from Seaworthy (Cameron Webb) and Taylor Deupree. Webb was plucked from a bushfire and flood-ridden east coast of an Australian summer and deposited via a 20h flight into a New York covered in snow. From wetlands abuzz with wildlife in the Australia to winter's wooded trails through Pound Ridge, the sonic environments couldn't have been more different. Working together in person has been an important point in Deupree's collaborations lately. Much preferring the human interaction and local landscapes over the soulless exchange of sound files over the internet. With this point taken care of the pair struck out in a New York February to a 4,000 acre nature preserve near Deupree's studio called Ward Pound Ridge…Deupree and Webb spent three days on the trails recording sounds and images which created direction and purpose for their album which was composed in the evenings in the 12k studio. The resulting Wood, Winter, Hollow traces a rustic path of the days in the woods with an equally natural soundset fronted by Webb on a nylon string guitar. Bells, sticks, melodica and the occasional analog synthesizer form the sonic backdrop echoing the quiet, but lively sounds of the winter forest. Endemic field recordings, including hydrophones placed in near-frozen streams, became an integral part of the work creating a subtle narrative that places the album in its specific place in time."

The fifth annual Tour of Hope returns to Central Louisiana on Sunday, offering a look inside a few of the lavish and historic homes in Rapides Parish.
The springtime special Tour of Homes event benefits the Hope House of Central Louisiana, which provides safe transitional housing and essential services to homeless women and their children.
During the Tour of Hope, guests can expect to feel welcomed in each home, with culinary creations served throughout the day by recent winners of Cenla's "Men Who Cook" competition.
Debbie Doggett, a board member for Hope House, said the event is just one of the ways Hope House raises money to benefit Cenla's homeless women.
"We encourage people to come out and enjoy this event. The homes are beautiful, and it will be a great time with good company, food, and entertainment," Doggett said. "At the same time, the funds made from this event help others in this community who need it."

This year, three homes will be featured during the tour, including the home of Tommy and Ana Cupples.
The Cupples' home was originally built by Allen Crowell in 1951. Tommy and Ana Cupples bought the house from the Crowell family in 2004, and after an extensive renovation, made it their home in the summer of 2007.
"At first we had planned to only change a few things," Tommy Cupples said, "but nearly three years later, we had changed things completely. Adding on to the house and making it our own — at one point I could drive my jeep into the kitchen and park it here because it was just an open room. We tore the walls down."
Tommy explained that he was no stranger to renovations, so putting in the effort to make his home special "was all part of the process."
"The house is a mixture of styles, but we have made it our own," he said.
The Cupples' home sits on two and a half acres near Jackson Street — something that Tommy believes is a "gem" to find these days. The main house features six bedrooms and four and a half baths, with an open living space designed for entertaining.
Stepping outside will lead you to an outdoor kitchen and living space that features rustic wood, exposed beams and bricks, stainless steel appliances and a fireplace.

Behind the main house, an in-ground pool is nestled near mature magnolia trees. The swimming pool was the third pool to be built in Rapides Parish years ago.
There is also a brick freestanding building that once served as the Crowell daughter's playhouse, which is now a home gym.
"We were honored to be asked to be part of this tour," Tommy said. "We are excited to meet everyone who stops by, and we know this will benefit the community."
Tickets for the Tour of Hope are $30 in advance, or $35 at the door. For more information on the Tour of Hope, which takes place on Sunday, March 19, from 2-4:30 p.m., call 318-446-7535 or visit www.cenlahopehouse.org.

LeEco's Flash Sale on the Le S3 and Le Pro3 Starts Now!
LeEco had their big US launch last week, and it went fairly well for them. Although since then, we've been hearing from their chairman that they have been expanding a bit too quickly and that they are running out of money. But that hasn't kept them from continuing their flash sale strategy in the US. In fact, another flash sale has just started in the US, over on LeMall. You'll be able to pick up the LeEco Le S3 and the Le Pro3 for $100 off of the regular price. Which brings the price down to $149 and $299 respectively. Their TV's are also on sale in this flash sale, except for the 85-inch TV. That one will remain at its regular price. But the 43-inch, 55-inch and 65-inch are all on sale.
Now this is a flash sale, so it ends in 12 hours, that's 10PM PT or 1AM ET (November 10th). However it may end earlier, depending on how long supplies last. Which in flash sales like these, they normally don't last long. Flash sales are a bit new to the US market, they are very popular in China and other parts of Asia though. Basically what companies do, is they manufacturer a batch of smartphones (or whatever product they are selling) and then sells it on their store. And when it's sold out, they are done until more can be made. So they don't have to worry about holding onto the products, and they also get plenty of press for these products selling out in matter of seconds, usually.
If you're looking for a higher-end smartphone, the LeEco Le Pro3 is a pretty decent one, spec-wise at least. There's a Snapdragon 821 processor inside, with 4GB of RAM and 64GB of storage inside. While the lower-end Le S3, which is still pretty high-end for its price, sports a Snapdragon 652 inside with 3GB of RAM and 32GB of storage. Still plenty of power to do everyday tasks like gaming, checking Twitter and email. You can take advantage of LeEco's flash sale by using the link down below. Hopefully their supplies last longer than they did last week.

Traffic kills. We die little deaths winding our way through the seemingly interminable slog. Barely contained rage is taken out on strangers – and is really an expression of impotence.
Other places are worse. A friend and former boss once described landing in Lagos only to get stuck in gridlock traffic.
After several hours he got a call. The meeting had been shifted to Ghana, because it was quicker to go back to the airport and fly there than wait in the Nigerian traffic.
We are catching up. It is not just traffic; bad transport is dangerous. My father's lungs were once punctured when an unconcerned car ploughed through his group of cyclists. He recovered.
Others have not. Last Saturday, my former boss' father was killed cycling on the bus route.
Data is limited. So let's assume that each commuter driving into Port of Spain for work spends at least two hours of his or her day in traffic. Over their 40 years of working life, that adds up to almost two full years. Multiply these years by the hundreds of thousands of commuters and you realise that traffic alone is a mass murderer.
We are densely populated, but not densely enough to make commutes short. There are too many cars, limited public transport and barely any buses. Our infrastructure is clogged and very expensive to expand. Some of the world's most heavily subsidised gasoline helps to fuel the problem.
At last week's Chamber of Commerce post-budget shindig, the Finance Minister said the government's long-term plan is to throw up flyovers and replace as many traffic lights as possible. This is music to the ears of many an urban planner. Infrastructure spending is one of the most productive forms of government spending, and directly enables growth.
In a local context, infrastructure development in already dense and congested areas (the main cities and highways) involves considerable displacement and disruption. That makes any such development expensive, particularly as our borrowing remains constrained by the size of public debt.
Antanas Mockus, former mayor of Bogota, is one of Latin America's most radical and effective administrators. He used theatrical policies worthy of his name to reshape Bogota. He hired hundreds of mimes to shame drivers who broke traffic rules; and distributed hundreds of thousands of "thumbs up" and "thumbs down" cards to citizens for them to express approval (or disapproval) at fellow citizens' behaviour. More serious are the statistics: traffic fatalities fell by 30 per cent under his tenure.
Mockus turned the whole city into a laboratory. How can we do the same?
Private enterprise can step in. To an extent it already has. We have developed a system of shared taxis and mini-buses travelling along fixed routes. It may not be the most comfortable, but it is relatively efficient. This was an organic, indigenous solution to the lack of public transport.
So how can we get people to trade in their cars for public transport?
Taxi companies could offer air-conditioned cars and limit the number of riders to offer greater comfort. They could invest in safety. Private bus companies could do the same, including chargers and sockets so people could work, read or watch films on the way to work. They would have to charge a little more, but it would be worth it.
People could park in centralised car parks, much as they park in suburban train stations in other countries. They could then drive the "last mile" home. What if we converted the swathes of paved land in the Savannah into a car park, and used the proceeds to shuttle drivers into Port of Spain? The reduction in congestion might allow the pedestrianisation of places like Charlotte Street, driving urban regeneration.
And what if the public service experimented by moving working hours either forward or backward to stagger commutes?
Last week I spoke to another old friend, who works at Sustrans. That company has developed 14,000 miles of cycle track in the United Kingdom. It is not clear whether solutions like that should be transplanted wholesale to a developing country like ours. But we can experiment ourselves.
There is a place for state intervention. Economies of scale are crucial in public transit and sometimes only the state can provide them. But we don't need to wait on the government. After all, we spend enough time waiting in traffic.
